Figure 1.

Confocal images of confluent monolayer of vehicle-only control (top row) as compared with 1-μM-dexamethasone-treated (bottom row) SC cells; F-actin (red) (A and D), phosphorylated myosin (green) (B and E), nucleus (blue). Cortex and stress fibers are seen in both groups, but the cortex is more prominent in treated SC cells (white arrows in (D)). Also, although p-myosin is present in both groups, it is more concentrated at the cortex of treated cells (white arrows in (E)). (C) and (F) are overlaid images.
